Hope it all goes well. The debris around Pluto due to it's weak gravitational pull make it treacherous. Long way to go have it fail, but still worth the try.

Coincidentally, I read an article in my July Nat Geo about the mission. Expectations are to turn what we know about this "planet" on its ear if photography from the 8,000 mile bypass successfully negotiates the debris field.

Thanks for linking. Great story of the son of a Russian immigrant coal miner raised in the coal mining town of Sagamore.
